@sduvick You can get content at https://download.kiwix.org/zim/gutenberg/

Look for the large en_maxi or en_all labeled files if you want to get all the pictures and videos. Its pretty easy to want to download a terabyte. There are also some mirrors that can serve content a bit faster.

I've been using #Kiwix on my phone for the past few days, with the ~48G full-Wikipedia-sans-images, the full Wiktionary, the #ArchLinux wiki and a couple of others, first impressions are pretty positive. Search is a little sluggish to get going but results and click-throughs open quickly. Overall it's faster than web. Feels safer to have such extensive references available without internet for emergencies; similar to downloaded OSM maps. Recommended, give it a try *before* you need it!

Just donated to @kiwix!

They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!

This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.

I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.

Spread the knowledge!

WikiHow content has been deprecated

TL;DR: the WikiHow zim files have been deleted and there are no plans to bring them back. The longer story is that the WikiHow folks reached out around the end of 2024 asking for their removal. Their content is apparently being harvested left and right by LLMs for their training, and they are trying to
